THUNDERSTRUCK RESOURCES LTD. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian dollars) FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Thunderstruck Resources Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on October 27, 2011 and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.
The Company’s registered office address is Suite 2080 - 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1S4 and its principal place of business is Suite 1500 – 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 1T2.
The Company’s principal mineral property interest is a project located on the main island of Fiji. The Company is in the process of exploring this project and has yet to determine if the project contains economically recoverable mineral reserves. The Company’s continuing operations and the underlying value of the project is entirely dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the exploration and development of the project, obtaining the necessary permits to mine, future profitable production from any mine and any proceeds from the disposition of the project.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going-concern basis. The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $223,915 and as of that date had an accumulated deficit of $5,898,912 and working capital deficiency of $147,697. The Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $162,246 for the same period. The Company will need to raise additional funds in the short term to continue to be able to operate, as there’s no source of operating revenue, and is dependent upon the future receipt of equity financing to maintain its operations and to advance its current project. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise additional financing to maintain its working capital. At the present time, there are material uncertainties which cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize on its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statement, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by IFRS for complete financial statements for year-end reporting purposes. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its most recent annual financial statements for the year December 31, 2022 as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
Basis of measurement
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for the cash flow information.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basis of measurement (continued)
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% controlled entity, Thunderstruck Limited (a Fijian corporation) (“Thunderstruck Fiji”) and Thunderstruck Fiji’s 100% controlled entity, Aljen (Pacific) Limited (a Fijian corporation).
Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the functional currency of all the entities.
Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying its accounting policies and estimates and assumptions about the future. Estimates and other judgments are regularly evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following are the most significant accounting judgments and estimates that the Company has made in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies:
The following are critical judgments that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
-
The determination that there are no pervasive indicators which would require an impairment provision in connection with the carrying value of the company’s exploration and evaluation assets.
-
The determination that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next year.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty:
Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:
Share-based payments
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Equity-settled transactions with non-employees are recorded at the fair value of the service provided, where this is readily determinable. In other instances, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share-based award, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
Deferred tax assets
The Company estimates the expected manner and timing of the realization or settlement of the carrying value of its assets and liabilities and applies the tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted on the estimated dates of realization or settlement.

Fijian Project, Island of Viti Levu, Fiji
On August 4, 2016, the Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aljen (Pacific) Limited (“Aljen”), a private Fijian company holding legal title to a portfolio of base metal and gold properties located on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji (the “Properties”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid cash of AUD$158,000 plus VAT and issued 90,000 common shares of the Company. The Company is required to issue a further 200,000 common shares of the Company in the event the Company or its successors either a) identify indicated mineral resources (or better and as prepared in compliance with NI 43-101) containing a minimum of 250,000 ounces of gold or 3,000,000 tonnes of copper, zinc or silver on the Properties; or b) completes a prefeasibility study on the Properties.
The Company is satisfied that evidence of title to the Properties is adequate and acceptable to prevailing Fijian standards with respect to the current stage of exploration on these Properties.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS (continued)
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to pay financial instrument liabilities as they come due. The Company’s liquidity risk from financial instruments is its need to meet operating accounts payable requirements. The Company is working to meet its capital requirements to satisfy its obligations. Liquidity will be managed through additional financing through debt and/or equity as available.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company’s has engaged a number of vendors in the pursuit of mineral exploration activities in Fiji. As such, the Company is exposed to some foreign currency risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and Fijian dollar may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and costs to proceed with preferred vendors. The Company may reduce its foreign currency risk as needed by substituting Canadian vendors as required. Foreign currency risk is considered low relative to the overall financial operating plan.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has been exposed to interest rate risk on its cash. The majority of these deposits have been in discounted instruments with pre-determined fixed yields. Interest rate movements will affect the fair value of these instruments, so the Company manages maturity dates of these instruments to match cash flow needs, enabling realization at no loss in almost all cases. As at March 31, 2023, the Company maintained all of its cash balance on deposit in chequing accounts with a major Canadian bank and a major Fijian bank.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s cash, amounts receivable, exploration advances, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at amortized cost and approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
